Carbs in Strawberries

Once used by the Romans as medicine, the strawberry is a naturally low-calorie and low sugar fruit and its nutrients offer multiple health benefits. Consuming only ten strawberries daily can help lower blood pressure because of the potassium content. Also, strawberries contain more Vitamin C than apples, oranges and bananas, and one serving is enough for half the daily requirement of Vitamin C. In fact, a helping of strawberries everyday can protect against cataracts and helps strengthen the eye’s cornea and retina. Finally, the fiber in strawberries aids in digestion while their folate content helps ensure the healthy development of unborn infants.
